Christmas Sweaters

I'm feeling a little lazy about blogging, so I'll just give the Christmas update today...

My mom always knits for her granddaughters (my nieces), and this year the two older girls got sweaters and the younger one got a poncho. Poncho pictures weren't possible (Sadie wasn't too cooperative), but the older girls loved their sweaters and happily displayed them.

On Christmas Eve, the girls wanted to wear my sister Michelle's red scarf that my mom had made for her out of some shiny, red yarn, so we decided to make them some little scarves. About an hour each, and we each made one, so it went fast. We got a little group picture.

Two smiles out of three isn't too bad. I had to choose a picture where you oculdn't see my braces. ;)

And perhaps most exciting of all, although there's no picture, is that my sister asked to learn to knit! We picked up some spare Debbie Bliss yarn and got her started. We were all shocked, but she was pretty diligent about it and knit several rows. Maybe we'll purl next week!

Hope everyone had happy holidays. Thankfully I have two more weeks before I have to go back to school, which should give me plenty of time to watch my newly-acquired DVDs of season 3 of Alias.
